Actor-director Brian G Hutton's directorial debut is an unrelentingly downbeat tale of a young girl's quest to find her biological father. She runs away from home and hooks up with a drifter who has nothing else to do and nothing in particular on his mind. Despite the title and advertising, there is nothing wild about these two. Celia Kaye and Michael Parks are so low key, they're barely alive and Conrad Hall's (In Cold Blood) moody cinematography envelops them in darkness. The story might have sustained an hour long TV drama, but there's no character development, and the journey from NY to California is uneventful and filled with stock characters of no consequence. Tedium settles in long before the predictable conclusion.
